Stephen Boulter, Vehicle Engineering Manager, Jaguar I-PACE, said: "The Pivi Pro infotainment system makes it easy to use public charging networks. As well as showing where charging stations are it can also tell you if they're available, what they cost to use, and an estimate of charging time. We know that most customers charge their I-PACE at home but we wanted to make charging on the go just as simple - and our new infotainment system makes that possible."
